2011 FORD EDGE Complaints

OPEN OR CLOSE DOORS SENSORS DEFECTIVE. HAPPENS IN ALMOST ALL FORD EDGE VEHICLES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE DOOR OPEN WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT DISCOVERED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE DOOR FAILED TO LATCH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE LATCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. IN ADDITION, WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN IN FOR INSPECTION, THE TECHNICIAN DISCOVERED THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE BRAKE PEDAL BECAME DIFFICULT TO ENGAGE WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE DOOR WOULD NOT CLOSE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 53,000.

WHILE DRIVING ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS THE CAR WOULD STALL AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. ABSOLUTELY NO ACCELERATION AND RAPID SPEED DECREASE MADE IT A VERY HAZERDOUS SITUATION ON THE INTERSTATE OR HIGHWAY. SEVERAL OCCASIONS TGE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE CROSSING AN INTERSECTION OF HIGHWAY DURING RUSH HOUR. ALMOST BEING REAR ENDED BY A SEMI GOING 60MPH AT ONE POINT IN TIME AS WELL. OUR 2011 FORD EDGE SEL HAD A BAD THROTTLE BODY AND WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY. I CONSIDER THIS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AS IT HAS BEEN REPORTED BY MULTIPLE PEOPLE AND IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET. 2012+ WAS RECALLED FOR THE SAME ISSUE BUT NOT OUR 2011...

THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT ON DRIVER SIDE DOOR REMAINS ON INTERMITTENTLY. OCCASIONALLY AFTER REPEATED SHUTTING OF THE DOOR IT WILL GO OFF. THE AIR BAGS ARE EFFECTED. I UNDERSTAND THEY WILL NOT DEPLOY IF THIS LIGHT REMAINS ON.

OUR FAMILY WAS DRIVING ON A HEAVILY TRAVELED BRIDGE AT 40MPH AND THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY LOST ALL POWER AND IDLED ROUGHLY, FORCING US TO TRAVEL ON THE BRIDGE AT JUST A FEW MILES AN HOUR WITH OUR FOUR-WAY FLASHERS ON UNTIL WE REACHED THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. A WRENCH APPEARED ON THE COMPUTER SCREEN WITH THE MESSAGE AWD OFF. MY HUSBAND TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND THEN BACK ON AND IT RAN FINE UNTIL WE DROVE IT AGAIN AND SAME THING HAPPENED. WE ARE FEARFUL FOR OUR SAFETY AND BEG FORD TO RECALL. I VISITED SEVERAL WEBSITES AND SAW WAY TOO MANY CONSUMERS WITH THIS SAME SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. WE ARE GOING TO GET IT EVALUATED BY A MECHANIC TOMORROW AND PRAY THAT WE ARE ABLE TO SAFELY DRIVE IT TO THE GARAGE.

A RIGHT FRONT DOOR AJAR WARNING IS REPORTED BY THE VEHICLE, BUT THE DOOR IS COMPLETELY SHUT - HAVE TO SLAM DOOR MULTIPLE TIMES TO GET WARNING TO GO OFF - OVERHEAD LIGHTS WILL RANDOMLY COME AS A RESULT WHICH AFFECTS YOUR ABILITY TO SEE TRAFFIC AT NIGHT - THIS PROBLEM IS STILL ON GOING ON A DAILY BASIS - THE REPORTED COST OF REPAIR IS $300 TO $500 FOR A PROBLEM THAT SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING.

DRIVER DOOR AJAR COMES ON WHEN DOOR HAS NOT BEEN USED. THIS PREVENTS THE DOOR FROM BEING LOCKED AND IS THEREFORE A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUES. THERE ARE MULTIPLE INTERNET REPORTS.

THE "DOOR AJAR" MESSAGE COMES ON WHEN THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR IS COMPLETELY CLOSED. I CANNOT LOCK THE DOORS WHEN THIS MESSAGE IS DISPLAYED. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY FEATURE, OCCUPANTS OF THE VEHICLE COULD BE SUBJECT TO A CAR JACKING ETC.. ALSO, THE INTERIOR LIGHT STAYS ON WHEN THE MESSAGE IS DISPLAYED CAUSING MY BATTERY TO DRAIN, I HAD TO PURCHASE A NEW ONE $102 WHICH I SHOULD BE REIMBURSED FOR. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM CONSIDERING THE DRIVER AND OCCUPANTS SAFETY IS COMPROMISED.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE IN MONTGOMERY AL AT 60MPH. IT WAS NOT RAINING, ROUGHLY 78 DEGREES. I HEARD A LOUD POP & THEN GLASS SHOWERED DOWN ON ME. THE SUNROOF SPONTANEOUSLY SHATTERED. THERE WAS NO PRIOR DAMAGE & IT WAS NOT HIT BY ANYTHING. THERE WERE NO CARS AROUND ME NOR DID ANYTHING FALL DOWN ON THE CAR. A HOLE WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SUN ROOF PROTRUDING OUTWARD AND IT WAS SHATTERED EVERY WHERE ELSE. I DO HAVE PICTURES. THE FORD DEALERSHIP STATED THEY HAVE HAD NO ISSUES WITH THIS HOWEVER, I HAVE FOUND OTHER REPORTED CASES. MY INSURANCE WILL BE TAKING CARE OF THIS SINCE FORD BRUSHED IT OFF.
